Dr. Naseem Baloch, Chairman of the Baloch National Movement (BNM), strongly condemned Pakistan’s attacks on neighbouring, brotherly Afghanistan, calling them not only a violation of international law but also an affront to the dignity and honour of a free Afghanistan and its proud people. In these circumstances, the BNM expresses its full solidarity with the brotherly Afghan nation.
He said Pakistan had miscalculated that, after the establishment of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, the Durand Line issue would disappear and Kabul’s foreign policy would become entirely subservient to Islamabad’s interests. The Afghan government, however, refused to make Pakistan a partner in its sovereign affairs. These, he said, are the fundamental reasons Pakistan attacked a free, sovereign neighbouring country — but the proud Afghan nation delivered a historic response and repelled it.
“BNM believes this attack is a continuation of Pakistan’s longstanding policy of meddling in Afghanistan’s internal affairs — seeking to expand its influence through military aggression and manufactured conflicts, with the aim of keeping Afghanistan unstable, weakened, and ultimately within Pakistan’s sphere of control. For decades, the Pakistani state has played a central role in plunging the Afghan homeland into continuous war, serving as a proxy and facilitator for foreign invaders.”
As a Baloch nation and organisation, he added, we declare our full solidarity and support for the Afghan people. The peoples of Balochistan and Afghanistan are custodians of a shared heritage—history, geography, culture—and a joint struggle against a common enemy. No external power has the right to weaken these ties or sow enmity between brotherly nations.
The BNM chairman said the movement regards this attack as the start of a new aggressive strategy in the region and called on Pashtuns living under Pakistani administration to take Pakistan’s adventurism seriously. He warned that this action is fundamentally connected to issues such as Pashtun genocide, the continued instability of the Pashtun homeland, and the dominance of the Punjabi army. If Pashtun parliamentary parties continue to side with Pakistan in the name of so-called national security, he said, the whole region will pay the price.
